Research Abstract

In this study, the following results were obtained with the aim of 1) searching for optimal cultivation conditions for efficient production and 2) producing excellent strains by crossbreeding of Pinellia ternata. 1) EC and pH of nutrient solution didn't affect the plant growth within EC 1.2-2.3mS/cm and pH 4-6. We established a comparison criteria for searching optimal cultivation conditions by investigating the time course of tuber enlargement and accumulation of useful ingredients in tubers under constant temperature, humidity and light conditions for an ultra-high-yielding line under cultivar registration. Under the same temperature and humidity conditions, we investigated the effect of three kinds of monochromatic light of red, green and blue on P. ternata and found that tubers and cormlets grew larger under blue light. 2) Many lines collected from from Hokkaido to Okinawa were appeared to have polyploidy mutations and chloroplast DNA mutations in Japanese native strains.
